Citroen Basalt is the fourth car from the French auto giant in India. Unveiled just a few days back, the Citroen Basalt aims to create a completely new niche in the Indian passenger vehicle market's mass market segment. The coupe SUV body style has been exclusive in the premium and luxury car segments so far, but the Basalt brings the same body style in the mass segment.
Citroen Basalt has made its India debut at a time when homegrown auto marque Tata Motors is raring to introduce its much-awaited Curvv coupe SUV, in both combustion and electric powertrain options. No wonder, with these models entering the Indian PV market, it is going to be an exciting time ahead. Also, it is to be seen which coupe SUV makes to showrooms first.

The Citroen Basalt comes with a front profile that has resemblance with the other offerings of the French auto giant in India, including models like the C3 and C3 Aircross.. However, there are distinctive styling elements as well. It gets the signature Citroen radiator grille, flanked by LED projector lamps accompanied by slanted LED daytime running lights. Also, there is a chunky skid plate, portraying the SUV's tough character.

Moving to the side profile, the Citroen Basalt carries a nice and compact sloping roofline, which grabs attention first and shows the typical coupe SUV character. The sporty alloy wheels, thick black cladding on doors and wheel arches, black greenhouse area are other design elements at the side profile. Overall, the car looks smooth except a few character lines, which certainly enhances the aerodynamic efficiency of the Basalt.
